'Israel is not a state of all its citizens. According to the nation-state law we passed, Israel is the nation-state of the Jewish people — and them alone,” Netanyahu said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has dominated the country's political right for a generation.
Israeli TV host Rotem Sela was immediately subjected to a swarm of online abuse after she posted that"Israel is a country for all its citizens," including Arabs. Rivlin, 79, does not present an electoral challenge to Netanyahu, but the prime minister is facing a strong challenge from former army Chief of Staff Benny Gantz. In his campaign, Netanyahu has suggested that Arabs, who account for 15 of the 120 members of parliament, would likely join Gantz in a coalition government.
Shalom Nir-Mozes, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud party who has long been viewed as a potentially formidable candidate, said her greatest disappointment in Netanyahu is that he is “tearing society apart instead of bringing us together, like a leader should.”Election day is April 9, and recent polls have shown the right-wing Netanyahu neck-in-neck with centrist rivals led by Gantz.Druze citizens
